============================================================================
Requirements Are:-
------------------
Standard (A500), A500+, A600(HD) or A1200(HD).
Standard Kickstart (1.3x), 2.0x to 3.1x and Workbench (1.3x),
2.0x to 3.1x.
Copy of AmigaBASIC and ALL the required files. (These can be
obtained from OS1.3x Extras1.3 disk from an old A500 machine.)
============================================================================
This is a text file only to tell you how to run AmigaBASIC on OS2.0x
to OS3.1x on an A500+, A600(HD) and A1200(HD). It may also run on big
box machines when using standard OCS-AGA graphics. (Note that OS1.3x
IS included in the requirements above as this is the original OS that
AmigaBASIC was intended for... :)
Enjoy finding simple solutions to often difficult problems.

Testing Evaluation:-
--------------------
An A1200(HD) in 2MB, 6MB and 10MB modes using trapdoor memory AND/OR
PCMCIA memory expansions. Also an A600(HD) using KS2.0x with 1MB, 2MB
and 6MB modes using trapdoor memory AND/OR PCMCIA memory expansions.
All test conditions WERE/ARE using standard ~topaz 8~ fonts throughout.
I have no idea what a strange configuration setup will create so refer
to the ~The Legal Stuff~ above.

WARNING.
--------
1) DISCONNECT any faulty equipment under test from the MAINS supply.
2) If a DC supply is used do NOT reverse polarity the connections.
